Our Great Shepherd
Our Great Shepherd
By Sherry Kenner
Growing up, I loved gazing at the nativity scene my mom would set up under the Christmas tree.

Musings of Life.....
Musings of Life.....
By Steve Reasbeck
Life. It has so many meanings. There is a board game called Life. A breakfast cereal. It is talked about in song, in poetry, and in fictional books.

By Matthew Newsome
Do Jews Need Jesus? That question may read as offensive to some, but to any sincere Christian the answer has to be an unqualified "yes," and for one very simple reason -- we all need Jesus, no exceptions.

Analysis of a Conversion - Why I left the Catholic Church, party time
By De Maria
I think it was St. Francis of Assisi or it might have been St. John Vianney, who, having passed by a bar where everyone was singing and enjoying themselves, arrived in Church to witness all the sad faces and quipped, "No wonder the bars are full. Who would want to be a Christian after looking at your gloomy faces?"

His Presence
His Presence
By Lorrie McNickle
As I sat in Exposition, about a half dozen people with children raucously entered the church and began roaming around taking seats up front by the altar, where are Dear Lord and Savior was exposed in the Monstrance.

The Movie Hocus Pocus Is A Source of Nightmares In The Name Of Family Fun!
By Ralph Zuranski
Parents be warned! "Hocus Pocus" is not a family picture filled with fun and laughter. It is downright terrifying and not suitable for children of any age. The graphic images of child brutality, murder, evil witches, a dead zombie and Satan aren't funny

Teaching to Pray
Teaching to Pray
By Tess Shore
As a catechist to Confirmation students, I am always being asked, "Why does the Church do this or why does the Church have this rule?"
